EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back in time to the rural landscapes of Shenandoah National Park in Virginia during the early 1930s. The image captures a moment of simplicity and daily life as John Nicholson skillfully peels apples at a house nestled amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Appalachian Mountains. Photographed by Arthur Rothstein in October 1935, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into the lives of those living through the Great Depression. Dressed in overalls, a jacket, and a hat that shields him from the autumn chill, John Nicholson sits comfortably on an old wooden chair with a barrel basin placed beside him. With focused concentration etched on his face, he expertly wields an apple peeler to remove thin strips of skin from each fruit. The room's interior is modest yet inviting; it exudes warmth with its rustic charm. This portrait encapsulates not only John's labor but also highlights how individuals found solace and sustenance within their own homes during challenging times. The photo serves as a powerful reminder of our connection to nature and our ability to find solace even amidst adversity. It invites us to appreciate both the simple pleasures and hard work that have shaped our history. Preserved by Library of Congress' archives, this print allows us to reflect upon America's past while celebrating its resilience for generations to come.
